Why do we need a perfect tense here

HI tingle15,

as you know we should eliminate "between" since it requires "AND" not "TO". So the possible options are B D E.

IN any situation if two events are related and one occurred in the past and the other followed it, the previous event takes perfect tense and the event following it takes simple tense. Hence in this question, the 1st event namely, the bouncing back event has to take perfect tense.

@Kyle: I believe the two events i.e., stock market trying to bounce back from 2002 low and US families trying to reel from the recent recession started simultaneously. While the former event is over, the latter is still on going.

Can you elucidate why we require perfect tense for the former event?

Thanks

HI ,

Sry for not giving you the early picture earlier ..

Pls remember this as a thumb rule : " We use present perfect tense for actions that started in the past but continue into the present or remain true in the present. The PP tense has one foot in the past and one foot in the present".

In the above scenario, if we consider the events..." the bouncing back event was still in action while a second event got triggered" . Think of both events in a relative timeline.
